If this announcement is Crash, here's how I see it playing out:
  • Activision developed/published
  • Timed exclusive on all Playstation consoles (maybe cross gen)
  • Activision has options to release it on other consoles after a time
  • Sony release will have somewhat significant exclusive content never made available on the other platforms.
Completely agree..... no way Activision wouldnt be involved in some form. I can see Sony doing a Destiny campaign (not nearly as large, but same exclusivity) for PS4

WOW how come I never made the connection.. I wouldn't mind them making ape escape.

I dont even like Sly 4....( I dont like Sly games)...but I can absolutely appreciate their cartoon design and ability to emulate and improve on old precedents...all I could think of playing Sly 4 was "They should make Ape Escape"

One thing that would be interesting is to see which way they skew stylistically. Ape Escape on PS1 was cartoonish but darker graphically and somewhat thematically, but the 2nd and 3rd games were 100% anime-styled humor-based and ridiculous.

It'll be a 1 hr downloadable game... bring it.

I...hmmm.... a Journey approach to Ico.SotC world sounds excellent....wayyyy too much filler in both games and perfect for that "cinematic" approach

Agreed, there is so much potential in the Ape Escape series waiting to be tapped. Whether through level design, gadgets, art style....honestly people can do whatever the fuck they want with it as long as they keep the puzzlish gadgety aspect of light hearted ape catching and Ill be happy
 
Wow, this thread really took off. Did we ever hear anything more about whatever LeeRoy was talking about last night?

Also, where's the bolded "I" in TheWorthyEdge's posts? All I saw was OLDP. =/

Plus the PS4 controller has all that wacky shit on it they could use.

Commenting on this again..the 4th unreleased game on the west side was literally made in conjunction with an anime.....wouldnt mind if they went for a more western animation style. After 2, the character design just kind of tanked and the series sort of went adrift.... we complain about a lack of Ape games, but the series was run into the concrete in Japan ith stupid poorly and quickly made side games. A more western look at the franchise would reinvigorate the series.

EDIT: FUUUUUUUCK an Ape Escape game with current Western cartoon animation/design style would be fucking incredible
 

This has been the extent of my experience on GAF for this entire year.

Oh, believe me, I know all about the Japanese releases. The game you're talking about (Ape Escape: Million Monkeys) is actually HEAVILY aped from (lol) for PlayStation All Stars. Most, if not all, of Ape Escape's representation in All Stars was from that game

An entire console generation's worth of dev time for a bite-sized downloadable game would be hilariously sad.
 
An announcement in the middle of nowhere had a 99% chance of being uninteresting in the first place.

Any 'bombs' will be reserved for events, not a press release.
Well, when you have Kagari going "welp" and BruceLeeRoy starting a countdown, it's more license for hype than the usual carnival of stupid we create ourselves :p

In any case, I'd have been more excited if it were a surprise holiday release. A month within Bloodborne's release is just odd.

Yea, why did BruceLeeRoy and Ami think that was something to get hyped about LOL

If it included DS1 and DeS, then yea I can appreciate the announcement, but only DS2???

we hyped it up ourselves and they said some people would be happy about it.

I haven't had a philly cheese steak in a longggg timeeee.

I should get one tomorrow, anyone know where's the best place to get one in NY? I could go to place i used to get it at but if theres a better place out there then ima try it :).

if you want cheap and greasy deliciousness, you can go down to one of the boroughs and get a great philly with the works for 6-7 bucks. i can give you two spots that are legendary in my opinion. i always get a bag of doritos or onion rings, luckily i dont eat this often...

old ip?


sony bend


syphon filter


oh yeah.

Honestly if PSABR was any indication there are only three IPs up for rebooting.... Ape Escape, Parappa, and Medievil....safest bets outside of Crash...honestly a new Crash with classic gameplay wouldnt be surprising all given Activision's size, recent Spyro reboot, and Euro's Crash chart topping
 
I don't want to see a new Crash if it's still Activision's property. I only want Crash to come back if Sony gets the rights to the IP.
So, never.
 
I want some PMs too... jesus its getting ridiculous with the hype in here.

I can see Activision selling that IP for a few Billions.
